I truly enjoy my sessions with Armando. He is helping me make progress in areas I know I need help. Listens very well while being thoughtful and understanding.

Hi have tried therapy several times and always felt like I was going because I had to go. After a couple of weeks to a couple of months I would stop going because I didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it, the therapist didn't understand me or wasn't very helpful. I think I have developed a dependency on Armando - kidding :) I look forward to our sessions and find it hard to go a full week without one. He hears me, asks digging deeper questions, is thought provoking, and supportive. I'm looking forward to continuing my healing and self improvement journey with him.

For a long time I needed help, I was new to therapy and I honestly still am. Sadly I was only able to afford a single month. With that 1 month though Armando helped me out greatly and I truly appreciate the kindness and assistance he offered me. I truly do wish I had the funds to keep seeking his guidance in a troubling time in my life where I need more help than ever. But I will not forget the help he gave me in the short time I've been seeing him and getting his guidance. Thank you very much Armando Grijalva, I will take all the help you gave into moving forward with my life.

Armando has been a tremendous help to all of the difficulties and conditions I've been dealing with, and I know that all of what I've learned with him will make all the difference in my life. I couldn't be more grateful.
